About: The Pretoria Marathon, hosted by Phobians Athletics Club, has been held for almost 30 years in the capital city and has become a legendary test of fitness. The race is a double-lapper, winding through leafy streets of jacarandas and climbing up to historic Fort Klapperkop, with its spectacular views of the city bowl and the Union Buildings. If you're in luck you may spot zebras and wildebeest alongside the road, before dropping down to Fountains Circle. Dig deep for a push up to Brooklyn when the route takes you through the grounds and past the beautiful old buildings of Pretoria Boys High School, and then back to the finish at the PBHS Old Boys Club. Perfectly timed as a qualifier for both Two Oceans and Comrades, our race also attracts hard-core endurance runners looking for a training marathon at altitude (1555m) that takes them outside their comfort zone. Push your limits. Endure. Achieve.
